   5 1/2  lb            apples --  peeled and finely
                        chopped
   4      c             sugar
   3      tsp           cinnamon
     1/4  tsp           ground cloves
     1/4  tsp           salt
Place apples in a slow cooker.  Combine sugar, cinnamon, cloves and salt;
pour over apples and mix well.  Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.  Reduce
heat to low; cover and cook for 9-11 hours or until thickened and dark
brown, stirring occasionally (stir more frequently as it thickens to
prevent sticking).  Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer.  If desired,
stir with a wire whisk until smooth.  Spoon into freezer containers,
leaving 1/2-inch headspace.  Cover and refrigerate or freeze.
